Panhandle · Panama City Beach
Daydreams is a 47-foot Beneteau monohull sailing out of Grand Lagoon to Shell Island, six guests on a shared snorkel or sunset sail and twelve on a private charter. The company's Privateer, Footloose, Lazy Daze and tiki boat are all powered, so Daydreams is the one that sails.
Paradise Adventures runs six vessels out of Grand Lagoon behind the Hilton Vacation Club Bayside Resort, and exactly one of them sails: Daydreams, a 47-foot Beneteau monohull. Her shared trips carry six, which is unusually small for this stretch of coast, and a private charter carries twelve. The three-hour snorkel and dolphin sail crosses to Shell Island with gear provided and unlimited drinks aboard, and the two-hour sunset sail runs out through the pass and back along the island at the end of the day. Both can be booked privately, as can a three-hour private snorkel and sail, and the captain sets the route on the day for the conditions.
The rest of the fleet is worth naming so nobody books the wrong boat expecting sails: Privateer carries up to 78 with a full bar and an inflatable water park off Shell Island, Footloose takes 38 on a snorkel trip, Lazy Daze is the newest at 32, and there is a 22-guest tiki boat, plus pontoon, kayak and paddleboard rentals. All of those are powered. Daydreams has also been marketed under the name SY Ohana, which still turns up on third-party booking sites.
